Question

-10x+5y=0 -4x-6y=54 find the solution of this system of equations

Answer 1

We have the first equation:
-10x + 5y = zero
we can divide all terms by 5 to get:
-2x + y = zero
This means that:
y = 2x .................> equation I

We now will look at the second equation:
-4x-6y=54
we will substitute with equation I in this equation to get:
-4x-6(2x)=54
-4x - 12x = 54
-16x = 54
x = -3.375

Substitute with the value of x in equation I to get y as follows:
y = 2(3.375) = -6.75

Therefore, for the given system of equations:
x = -3.375
y = -6.75
